eDirectory

ConsoleOne uses Novell eDirectory to resolve the UNC path of a domain or post office directory into its network name in the cluster. For example, on the workstation where you run ConsoleOne, you need to map a drive to the location of a domain directory using the network name of the domain resource group so that ConsoleOne can access the domain database no matter which node in the cluster it is active on.

Hosts Files

Because each GroupWise resource group has been associated with a network name, you should add lines for the new network names to the \winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file as needed This should only be done on the administrator’s workstation.

The lines you add to a hosts file could look similar to the following example (all on one line, of course):

Syntax:

IP_addressnetwork_name.context

Remember that network_name represents the name of the virtual server, which remains unchanged regardless of which node is currently active.
